“Fantastic cottage with equally fantastic hottub”

Reviewed April 3, 2016
for a stay in March 2016

Great wee cottage in the middle of a neat, tidy and friendly village. Stayed 3 nights and used as a base to visit the surrounding countryside with ease. Owner was friendly and gave good advice. Hot tub was a definite highlight, used every night to ease aching muscles. Will be back for sure.

I stayed here at the start of March with my husband and two toddlers. It was a weekend of cold weather, but we were lovely a cosy with the log fire burning. We rented the cottage to have a relaxing weekend and we had exactly that. The village is very quaint, with friendly locals and great restaurants, cafes and takeaways in the vicinity. Lesley and Neil were great hosts and I would recommend coming here, especially if you want a base to explore the local area, Durham is close and the park and ride makes it a simple trip out.

A very comfortable, well appointed cottage on the main street in Sedgefield, with local shops and pubs close by. A very relaxing location with open countryside on all sides and close to Durham and Newcatle.

My husband and our two little dogs have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay in this lovely little cottage. It is a very pretty little village with everything you need, including pubs restaurants and has a lovely little teashop round the corner. The cottage is well equipped for both our needs and the dogs. We really enjoyed the advantage of a hot tub and used it a lot. The village is in a very good location. We will be recommending to our friends and family and will definitely have a return visit ourselves.

Thank you for your kind comments about Sedgefield, it really is a lovely village. I hope the dogs enjoyed their walks and you took our advice about walking to Hardwick park. I look forward to seeing you soon.

My husband and I stayed at Cherry Blossom Cottage with our 2 adult children and 2 dogs for a local family christening. The cottage was very comfortable and welcoming to come back to, a real home from home. So much more relaxing and comfortable for our family than staying in a B & B. Although no parking at the cottage, there was easy parking directly across the road and lovely parkland for walking the dogs just across the road. Lesley was very approachable and helpful. Would recommend anyone to stay and would not hesitate to stay again when visiting our family in Co Durham.
